THIS PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT 1811 TRAIL LAKE DRIVE. Chairman Ernest opened the public hearing and asked for those wishing to make a presentation to the Board to please come to the podium. Mr. Dan Offield, from Dan Offield Construction Company, stated that he had constructed a house at 1811 Trail Lake Drive. They had constructed a lime- stone screening wall in the front of the house, specifically in front of the master bathroom window that faces the front of the house. In the process of construction, they encroached the front building line with the stone screening wall approximately eight (8") inches. Chairman Ernest asked the Board for any questions they may have for Mr. Offield. There being none, Chairman Ernest asked for any proponents. Mr. Paul Stevens, owner of the property, stated that the wall in question is a screening wall that provides a garden area.
